In the aftermath of armed conflict or repression, communities often struggle to rebuild social relations that have been damaged or destroyed by violence and abuse. Restorative justice can potentially play a valuable role in such societies, bringing together the people who have been harmed by crimes and the individuals responsible for those harms, often in the form of a dialogue, to address the offense and its consequences. A new ICTJ research report offers insight and guidance on the use of a restorative justice framework in responding to massive and grave human rights violations, drawing primarily from experiences in Colombia, Sierra Leone, Tunisia, and the Philippines’ Bangsamoro region.

El 10 de abril la Asamblea General de la ONU (AG de la ONU) celebra un debate monográfico sobre el papel de la justicia internacional en los procesos de reconciliación. Es un debate solicitado por el presidente de dicha asamblea, el serbio Vuk Jeremic, después de la reciente absolución del general croata Ante Gotovina por parte del Tribunal Penal Internacional para la Ex Yugoslavia (TPIY). Por desgracia, ha quedado claro que lo que en realidad pretende este debate es desautorizar al TPIY, no debatir una cuestión importante no sólo para los Balcanes sino para un número creciente de países.
